I am not running there kit but I am running the 4" Callies crank with Scat H-Beam chevy rods the bolts cleared my X block with no grinding but it was close so I did grind a small notch for good measure.

What are the pros and cons to this kit? I know it uses SB chevy rods. Will they clear the block without having to grind like you do using Mopar length rods? Seems like a good deal??

Would be nice if they told you WHICH Callies crank they use... Callies sells multiple different variations of forged cranks at different price tags

Website says the 4" only comes in the DragonSlayer.

Excellent finish on everything. It's a very nice kit.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

well I spoke with one of the big guys at Callies when I ordered mine and was told point blank that it was forged and machined right here in the good ol USA that was about 2 years ago if I remember correct he said they where forged in Ohio. Maybe something has changed since then.
well just to clear this up I just got off the phone with Bruke at Callies Crankshaft and the Dragonslayer cranks are forged in Lansing Mi and machined at Callies so they are 100% USA

why do you prefer chinese?
The Compstar Crank and Rods for my 565" looked like Jewelry....very nice pieces, I was more than impressed and according to Mike Thompson they were spot on.....they lived in the 565 and it's no slouch....I talked to them about future Mopar products and at the time they had no plans for any
I don't prefer Chinese, I do however prefer good quality parts.....bash away Tony
